Unsurprisingly, there is one man dominating the headlines after Derby were cut down to size at Rotherham.

Frank Lampard, in his first few months of management and arguably the most high-profile name in the Championship, was sent to the stands as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

Rotherham's Ryan Manning is congratulated after scoring from the penalty spot

The column inches will be hogged by the former England midfielder, but do not let that take the attention away from a wonderful performance by the Millers, who deservedly took all three points thanks to Ryan Manning's second-half penalty.

This was classic Rotherham in the Championship.

They played with high intensity, unsettled their opponents, outfought them and continued to cause a threat from set-pieces, showing the mix of ingredients which, on this evidence, will be the recipe for comfortable survival.
